The Fifty-eighth Gate

The faculty of belief is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we do not [blindly] follow the words of others.

Belief :
confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.

Gatha:
May we together with all beings
Reflect on and clarify our beliefs
That we may not become as sheep.

.
.
May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to the present.
